Bruins unveil national television schedule

On Thursday, the Bruins announced their national television
schedule for the 2012-13 season.

The B's will be broadcast nationally throughout the U.S. on 17
occasions, with 13 of those tilts being exclusive, while the other
four will air locally on NESN.

The Black and Gold will be broadcast a whopping 30 times up in
Canada, and nine games will appear on the NHL Network. All games
aired by Canadian outlets are non-exclusive, and thus will also be
televised on NESN (barring any exclusive games on NBC, of
course).

Here are a few more tidbits from NHL.com:

For the second consecutive season, NHL on NBC broadcast

as it did in 1952 when Hockey Night in Canada first took to the TV
airwaves.
